Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Definitely will not do what your state has done.
    realy? tell me what can you do? dream?

    I'm going forward and say that we should pay for Ottoman citizen Armenians who lost houses, belongings etc.
    Absolutely not. I will not give power to my enemy because of my feelings or justice.

      Absolutely not. I will not give power to my enemy because of my feelings or justice.
      In 1999, a class action suit against New York Life Insurance company was filed by the descendents of those that survived the unfortunate events of 1915 under the rule of the Ottoman Empire during WWI. The company was sued specifically for not being forthcoming in paying up for policies of those killed in mutual massacres. The suit was settled in 2004 for $20 million, and payouts began to individuals and some Armenian charitable organizations.

      Where did this "money" come from?

            Our make up is very different, through the years we have known to the world to be civilised and very constructive, not destructive. Once we occupy our anscestral's lands from Millenia perhaps we can teach the turkish people to be and act more civilized even if they believe in a different religion. We as Christians and they as Muslims. Same as Americans who have various religions and ethnic backgrounds of people; yet they try to respect them all regardless the individual's religion, the non religion or his ethnic background. And I am sure that Armenians will not make a requirement for the turkish people to pay extra more taxes like the Ottomans did to the Armenians on or before 1915.

              Differences are in degrees, not kinds.
              That depends on your definition of Genocide. The settlers in Canada screwed over the natives as well. All the Indians ever did wrong was not invent gunpowder. The surviving children were taken from their tribes and put into Catholic schools.

              "In the 19th century, the Canadian government believed it was responsible for educating and caring for the country's aboriginal people. It thought their best chance for success was to learn English and adopt Christianity and Canadian customs. Ideally, they would pass their adopted lifestyle on to their children, and native traditions would diminish, or be completely abolished in a few generations.

              The Canadian government developed a policy called "aggressive assimilation" to be taught at church-run, government-funded industrial schools, later called residential schools. The government felt children were easier to mould than adults, and the concept of a boarding school was the best way to prepare them for life in mainstream society.

              Residential schools were federally run, under the Department of Indian Affairs. Attendance was mandatory. Agents were employed by the government to ensure all native children attended."

                I think you have the right to get your father's belongings and your houses back within the land which is in the soverignity of Turkey. If this is not happening, some other way of payment must be found. It must be all documented by state archives from the Ottomans or some other estimation method should be used.




                Ok, I admit I read reports of various think-tanks, I try to follow foreign media not only Armenian but also non-Armenians and non-turks

                There is no such think like you say; It is gonna happen bcoz we dream. Every country in this world makes plans to accomplish things.
                Am I wrong? People need to dream for sure but they also need to design the method or build the road to make dreams happen.

                So what is your method? How will yo do it?

                Please tell me so that we can have a good debate. How can I say anything if you say it's gonna happen without wars but don't give me any clue how to make it happen?

                So, I dream my country to have a GDP of $2 Trillion. Yes, I dream, I write poems about it. I make everyone in the world read my poems. But for god's sake, how will I do it? I don't know, I just dream. It is stupid.

                Tell me how you will make Turkey give half of the country to Armenia?
                Should I cry to you to learn the way of doing it?
                I think turkey should realize that it is far better for Wilsonian Armenia to be given the rightfuel heirs of Armenians who were annihilated that are quite civilised and very constructive than to the Kurds who happen to be very tribal and will fight till the end and take control of those same lands. Which countymen will be better after all? Turkey should ask herself intelligently and weigh.
